President Obama has his share of critics at home, many of whom belong to the GOP. Sometimes the criticism is sincere and valid, serving as an important progression in the debate surrounding whatever the issue at hand, but many a time it is frivolous, eye-rollingly asinine comments made by questionable lawmakers who somehow manage to bypass their bevy of PR people to say things that they later scramble to take back. Case in point: Texas Rep. Randy Weber compared Obama to Hitler on Twitter in an expression of disapproval at the President's no-show at the Paris Unity Rally.

I think it’s fair to say that we should have sent someone with a higher profile.

Evidently, Weber decided that the absence of Obama himself was tantamount to a grave indiscretion, because well, I guess even Hitler visited Paris in 1940 after Nazi soldiers invaded and occupied France, so why couldn't Obama?

It's not the first time Weber has expressed a radical opinion about the President. The Congressman of Texas' 14th district tweeted last year from the House floor that he was awaiting the "Kommandant-In-Chef," and in the same sentence called Obama a "Socialistic dictator."

I don't just say I'm conservative. I have boot leather to my gospel...

I'm so Republican, my first name starts with "R." I'm so right-wing—well, Randy Weber. You do the math.

I don't know what kind of logic that is, but I suppose it shouldn't be particularly surprising that someone who prides himself in being the most right-wing politician made a comparison so bafflingly idiotic.
